In that case, the first approach will work, except that item is an object ref, and the value of the name property may not be a legal field or memvar name.

The question now becomes how are you reaching the ASP's request.forms object; you've somehow got to be instancing it in VFP. It exists outside of VFP in the executing ASP script.

I'd take a look at the Request Object/Form collection entry in the MSDN to see the exact behavior and available property set for the Form collection. There is no item property of the Form collection; the index of the form element is numeric.
